23 Clusters Based on Elevation Adjusted Aerosol Chemical Speciation
Difference of Aerosol Chemical Speciation Between YOSE and HOOV for Q1 – Q4 During Quarter 1, Hoover has much more soil and coarse mass in aerosols than Yosemite National Park; while Yosemite National Park has more OC/EC and Nitrate throughout the year.
Carbon Dating at Yosemite • Lower bound on antrho • Upper bound on biomass burning • Data from abnormally high OC days
Guiding Light for Forums • Contribute to apportionment process • Provide emissions • Help interpret results • Recommend controls • Which ones, how much, where, and when • 309 implementation
Yosemite Field Study • Sponsored by NPS • Turtleback Dome • July 15 - September 4, 2002 • San Joaquin Valley had most bad air days since 1998 • OC on hazy days typically 45% of fine mass, but 80% during study • Large fires in sourthern OR and southern CA
